Remember the news story about the straight guy softball fanatics who almost won the Gay World Series by pretending to be homosexuals? I couldn't quite come up with the punchline that all my experience told me was out there somewhere. Fortunately, commenter NOTA has supplied it:

"You know, I bet the lesbian softball league never has this problem...."

The few lesbians I know, were once straight, but had very bad experiences with men. For example, one lesbian I know was in an abusive marriage for years. Another, just never got any traction with men in high school and was "adopted" by some lesbians in college where she played...wait for it...softball.

Also, none of the lesbians I know are angry. They just feel shut-out or exhiled from the world of men.

side note but i worked in catering once and there was this really faggy fag working, (this was chicago) i mentioned a part of lincoln park I went to and he said 'oh no we (homos) don't go there, the bully dykes chase us with baseball bats"That was 1993... I knew, even back then, our society was headed in a very odd direction.

Do you know a hetero male that would sit at the bar, share some brews with his buds, and take pride in beaming, "I won a trophy playing with the gay guys in the Gay League"? (I can hear the catcalls and whistles now; the teasing would be endless.) Or would he enjoy telling his girlfriend or wife, or better yet, his father-in-law or dad, "Man, it feels good to win the Gay League trophy"?

I can only see that happening as a joke. *That* I can understand.

On the other hand, Id think straight female softball players wouldn't care if they played in a Lesbian League since they are much more used to the athletics they played in high school or college being heavily populated by masculine women sorts--yes, lesbians.

"3) Gay from out of control sex drive - much easier to find an outlet with men than with women."

Actually, research shows that women with a higher than normal sex drive are more likely to swing both ways, while higher than normal men grow hornier for their sex preference.In another study, out of hundreds of lesbians, there were only 7 of them who had never had sex with a man.

Real lesbians (not the lipstick/bad hetero experience faux lesbians) are truly nasty pieces of work where men are concerned.

A friend talked me into playing in a coed softball league in Jamaica Plain, the "woman-identified" section of Boston. I was a pretty good high school baseball player, so they put me at third to flag down the line drives that most of these weekend warriors would duck. The diesel dykes in the league were fairly good, as most played in college, and they would regularly put a shoulder into you trying to take you out--if you were a guy. They would slide if a woman was on the bag.

What saved it for the guys was the fact that all the umps were men, so when the guys started tagging the dykes in the face and such, the dykes had little recourse, so they finally started playing it "straight"!

"The few lesbians I know, were once straight, but had very bad experiences with men."

Ditto. Strikes me that a large share of lesbianism occurs at the lower end of the socio-economic spectrum, where a disproportionate share of the men are inclined to be complete douche bags. I ran into a large share of such lesbians in my old blue collar job before finishing my degree. I've run into fewer since, even though white collar enviroments are generally more tolerant of such lifestyles.

Here's the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: "You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps." You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.

You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.

Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone app (Android and iPhone -- the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).

Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google's free Gmail email service. Here'show to do it.

Fourth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.)

Fifth: if you have a Chase bank account (or, theoretically,other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ).

If Chase asks for the name on my account, it's Steven Sailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.)

My Book:

"Steve Sailer gives us the real Barack Obama, who turns out to be very, very different - and much more interesting - than the bland healer/uniter image stitched together out of whole cloth this past six years by Obama's packager, David Axelrod. Making heavy use of Obama's own writings, which he admires for their literary artistry, Sailer gives the deepest insights I have yet seen into Obama's lifelong obsession with 'race and inheritance,' and rounds off his brilliant character portrait with speculations on how Obama's personality might play out in the Presidency." - John Derbyshire Author, "Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics" Click on the image above to buy my book, a reader's guide to the new President's autobiography.
